Climate and Weather

No, I was not surprised. SIO has been making daily (and in some cases continuous now) measurements since soon after their first pier was built. The data is more reliable than some bonehead comments attached to old photographs.
So measurements off of a manmade structure built in the ocean? I wonder if the pier has settled at all since it was built... hmmm.

So the measurements are off of two different piers? Hmmm

The original pier opened in 1916, when the oceanographic institute was 13 years old and struggling to become a prominent center of science. Philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps put up $36,000 to build the 1,000-foot-long structure, where scientists studied the marine environment and routed water to laboratories onshore.

The wood-and-concrete pier took regular beatings from the sea, leading to major repairs in 1926 and 1946. Those fixes weren’t enough to withstand the forces of nature and time. Scripps built a new pier next to the old one in the 1980s, then tore the old one down.
 
Ill give you a chance. What point are you trying to make with the information you have posted? Ill wait...

My recent interest in this thread was sparked by the claim that the sea level at La Jolla Cove was exactly the same as in 1871. I know that Scripps Institute (a little over a mile up the coast from La Jolla Cove) measures sea level (among other things) so I looked to see what they had available as public data.
 
Failed what?

Everything you post is flawed or complete LIES.

You're a Lying poster who posts bogus information to
support a False Premise that's intent was to fleece Governments
and poor people around the world....all put into high gear
by none other than the sore loser Al " Jabba The Hutt " Gore....
This pattern is now repeating itself with the sore loser Hillary Rodham Clinton...

So it appears that, based on the link you posted from NOAA, that the level has gone up in La Jolla. I don't find that alarming or surprising. What I do find surprising is that if you travel North on the map you will see that, according to your link, sea levels have gone down.

The level measured at some coastal stations has gone down, and at some stations it has gone up more than at La Jolla. The point in question was La Jolla Cove.
